Manipulate energy transport via fluorinated spacers towards record-efficiency 2D Dion-Jacobson CsPbI₃ solar cells

Two-dimensional (2D) Dion-Jacobson (D-J)-type cesium lead iodide CsPbI ₃ perform remarkably in terms of stability. However, the complex interactions between spacer and inorganic layers limit its excellent progress in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Herein, starting from the considerable structural diversity of organic spacers, we...

2D Dion–Jacobson CsPbI₃ with Enhanced Interlayer Coupling for Stable and Efficient Photovoltaics

Inorganic 2D layered CsPbI₃ is awaiting to overcome the phase instability of traditional 3D components. However, the most reported Ruddlesden–Popper (RP) phase 2D CsPbI₃ leads to larger interlayer distance and weaker interlayer coupling since the existence of the van der Waals gap, which deteriorates the performance of...

A Novel Multiple-Ring Aromatic Spacer Based 2D Ruddlesden–Popper CsPbI₃ Solar Cell with Record Efficiency Beyond 16%

Two-dimensional (2D) Ruddlesden–Popper (RP) CsPbI₃ perovskite possesses superior phase stability by introducing steric hindrance. However, due to the quantum and dielectric confinement effect, 2D structures usually exhibit large exciton binding energy, and the charge tunneling barrier across the organic interlayer is difficult to...
